CE-SSFP, contrast-enhanced steady state free precession; LAD, left anterior descending; LGE, late gadolinium enhancement; LM, left main; LV, left ventricle; Obs, observer; RCA, right coronary artery; T2W, T2-weighted imaging.

aInfarct size could not be assessed due to poor image quality related to frequent arrhythmias.
